Non-notable professional organisation. Fails WP:ORG - third party sources do not establish notability. ukexpat (talk) 00:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete The article cites 9 sources. 3 of them are press releases. 3 of them are from their own website. 2 of them are text books published by them.  1 source is the website of a similar organization bragging that it offers the only certification recognized by them. I did an (admittedly brief and superficial) search for independent sources and did not find any.  ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 16:19, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Those are the two sources I mention above as textbooks published by them. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 14:17, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * These are journal articles, not textbooks. However, they aren't third-party sources, since this is information provided by ISHRS itself. I do find occasional mentions, but the literature is generally behind paywalls. I don't find enough to keep the article. Delete LaMona (talk) 15:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
